My favourite of all of these branches of the "Pan-pre-culture" theories is that of Szukalski's Protong, which is the supposed "mother language, before the cataclysm" which was spoken by the previous generation, wiped out by the flood .. and which persists today across all ancient art-forms as a kind of mnemonic proto-language, warning of grave and dire things to come this way, every 65,000 years .. in fact, Szkulalskis' treatise of this subject is very approachable.
I am enamoured of Protong in particular, not just because of the nature of Szukalski himself as an enormous crackpot, but also because the concept of a sub-meta-proto- language, readable in all ancient art (and thus demonstrating a common root), is highly fascinating.
Through Szukalski I learned to try to see the 'assembly language' of human culture as a persistent meme across generations of civilizations, and that in itself - irresepective of Szukalsksi's other heinous crackpot racist theories - is a good reason for anyone to check out Protong!

(He is a crackpot - the yeti stuff is a load of bollocks. But Protong itself, in my opinion, has a great deal of merit as an artistic pursuit..)
